I bet no one would have thought to do what that Dr. did. I mean really, why would you think that the patient needed appropriate treatment? Geez.
LOL.
He went to medical school, just to write that?
Even the other doctors are crazy around there...
Now you know why she is giving your office a try.
by those standards I could pass as a Dr. I did stay at a Holiday in Express last night.
99211
Dr. Trout- in my experience the doctors with the crappiest documentation are the ones most likely to do 99245.
I'm guessing this sorta tx is why he was her "previous" neurologist?
Man this doctoring is easy! I can just write "appropriate treatment" on everybody and bill their insurance.
I love it! I am the UR guy at my hospital. I doubt that meets Medicare rules. It does remind me of the old-style ortho note "Bone Broke, Me Fix".
I might be tempted to report such a doctor to medicare for fraud. That documentation doesn't even come close to classifying for a 99211! (&, yes, the worst offenders usually bill even higher than that.) A 1st semester med student could document better than that. Sheesh.
That was really helpful, wasn't it?
Ha!
Well, glad the treatment wasn't inappropriate. Whatever it was.
Appropriate treatment, what a novel idea! Was this doctor, perhaps involved in the caffeine study, too?
"Paging Dr. Obvious!"
If only the last line had one less syllable, it could have been a haiku!
